SteveZilla Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Timewave zero "Timewave zero" is a numerological formula that purports to calculate the ebb and flow of "novelty"' date=' defined as increase in the universe's interconnectedness, or organised complexity,[65] over time. According to Terence McKenna, who conceived the idea over several years in the early-mid 1970s while using psilocybin mushrooms and DMT, the universe has a teleological attractor at the end of time that increases interconnectedness, eventually reaching a singularity of infinite complexity in 2012, at which point anything and everything imaginable will occur simultaneously.[65] o.0 .... Right. Because hallucinogenic-inspired thoughts are always correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Intuition is notoriously fallible when it comes to modern physics. Though there'd be the problem of language: lots of the concepts needed to explain such things weren't there at his time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
